Ultrakleen 1992

This ‘signature’ interior, based on a template in Gold’s Instant Decorator, was first exhibited in ‘Mix’n Match’ in 1992, and has been shown widely since.

The shiny neatness of the model kitchen is complicated by allusions to Arkley’s own earlier works, as noted in Spray, and the Escher-esque perspective of the tiled floor. Most of the line-work here is in grey, lending the work a unifying, suitably metallic tonality.
